Question 3
rashwiniyer
According to the bit of the passage that you've quoted, "comparable worth" means that people who are ALREADY in different jobs that require the same amount of training should be paid the same. For instance, if it takes six months to become a clerk and six months to become a taxi driver, then clerks and taxi drivers should be paid equally.
So, no one in the passage is arguing that "women [should receive] the same kind and amount of job training that men receive," as stated in (E). They just think that women who ALREADY have the same amount of training as men should be paid equally, even if they are working in different roles.
(E) is out for question 3.
I hope that helps!

Hi experts KarishmaB GMATNinja MartyMurray IanStewart
In question-3, could you please why option D is wrong?
My reasoning is that we are given in the passage that same jobs will pay same wages so lower wage inequality - "But equal pay laws are ineffectual when women and men are concentrated in different occupations because such laws require only that women and men doing the same jobs be paid the same."
Option D says that if more men have same jobs as women, then this should help to reduce wage inequality, right?
Is it wrong because passage doesn't provide us an info on a proportional relationship for the scenario when more men enters the same occupation as women?
Please let me know where I am going wrong.

I think you have rephrased the question -- the question you are answering is something like "According to the passage, wage inequity would be reduced if which of the following were true?"
But the question says: "According to the passage, some economists believe that" wage equity would reduced if which of the following was true?
So you need to find something that the passage tells you some economists actually believe. And the only thing we're told about what some economists believe is this: "Some economists believe that rigorous enforcement of existing equal pay laws would substantially decrease this wage inequity", which is almost exactly what answer A says.
